Wealthy man's will forces divorce or lose fortune in Miami
Executors of Daniel K. Weiskopf's estate ask Dade Circuit Court to rule if a clause in his will contravenes public policy by pressuring daughter Mrs. Danise Weiskopf Reid to divorce Harris Reid and remarry to gain about 30 000 a year from a 2 507 000 trust. The will split the estate among Mrs. Reid and two brothers, while a codicil increased a bequest to Grace Grier Vignes, now contested after the testator died March 22.
